moistCv {aiRthermo}R Documentation

Moist cv value

Description

This function is similar to moistCp but for c_v. In this case, it is the value of c_v corrected due to the existence of water vapour (equation 7.12) from Tsonis (2002).

Usage

moistCv(w, consts = export_constants())

Arguments

w

A vector with mixing ratio values (kg/kg).

consts

The constants defined in aiRthermoConstants data are necessary.

Value

This function returns the value of c_v corrected due to the existence of water vapour.
